Remember [39] in one second, and read it for free without pop-ups!
My relationship with my wife has improved, and now we happen to work together again, so we can commute together.
I'm about to take charge of the on-site construction of the International Pavilion, and I think it's been a great event lately.
A few days later, my parents suddenly called, saying that they were going to come to live in Shencheng for a few days.
I am busy with work on weekdays, and I only have the opportunity to visit my parents in my hometown during the Chinese New Year's holidays, so this time my parents offered to come to Shencheng, and of course I welcomed them.
Of course, out of respect, I also told my wife Zhang Ailing about it.
My wife Zhang Ailing's reaction was relatively flat, she and my mother had a big quarrel at the beginning, so there has always been a bit of estrangement in my heart.
In fact, I hope that this time my parents come over and can get along with my wife Zhang Ailing for a few days, and the best thing is to completely resolve the previous conflicts and disputes.
On Saturday, I went to the station alone to pick up my parents, and my wife Zhang Ailing prepared meals with Zhang Yi at home.
When I came home with my parents, Zhang Ailing and Zhang Yi had already prepared the meal and put it on the table.
During the meal, my mother said, "Fang Yuan, you have been married for several years, should you consider having children?" ”
I looked at my mother a little embarrassed, and then explained, "Actually, we are too busy at work, we are under a lot of pressure, and we haven't paid the mortgage yet, so it's a bit too early to have children." ”
My dad chimed in and said, "You're thirty years old, or too early?" Your wife is almost thirty, and she will be an advanced maternal age in a few years, haven't you thought about it yourself? ”
I could only look at my wife Zhang Ailing, and I really wanted her to come forward to explain.
As a result, Zhang Ailing directly put down her chopsticks and said: "Dad, Mom, in fact, Fang Yuan and I have already discussed, when the mortgage is almost repaid, we will have children." ”
"Okay, since you think the mortgage is a pressure, I have discussed it with his father, and we will help you pay off the remaining mortgage, but the condition is that you have to think about having children. I've been married for several years and don't have children, I don't know what you're thinking. "It seems that my mother came prepared this time, so she didn't want to hear any excuses or reasons at all.
The atmosphere, which was already not very harmonious, became even more tense and worse.
Zhang Ailing also stopped making a sound, went directly to the bathroom, and didn't come out for half an hour.
made Zhang Yi also embarrassed, she got up and said that a classmate was looking for her, and then went out.
Although I know that my wife Zhang Ailing must be a little uncomfortable in my heart, I can't do it too obviously in front of my parents, and I also think that having a child is not a big deal, but my wife Zhang Ailing doesn't seem to want to give birth.
I have also asked Zhang Ailing more than once about this issue, but her reason is that she is still young and doesn't want to lose the world of the two too early.
Besides, Zhang Ailing did that kind of thing with me before, and she didn't agree to it every time she didn't wear a condom, so I have always been compromised and didn't force Zhang Ailing to have children anymore.
This time, my parents came to urge in person, but in fact, I didn't have anything myself, but my wife Zhang Ailing seemed to have been greatly wronged, and she didn't say a word all afternoon, so she simply hid in the bedroom and went to sleep.
I sent my parents to the hotel alone, and after settling down, I went home to talk to my wife Zhang Ailing.
"Wife, in fact, we should really consider having children, you are almost twenty-eight years old this year, don't you never plan to have children?"
"Husband, didn't you say okay? Wait until I'm thirty, okay? ”
"You also heard it today, and my parents are very clear, as long as we agree to have children, we don't have to worry about the mortgage. Don't you think this is a rare opportunity? ”
"Don't push me, okay? Husband, why can't you wait another year or two? Many people are not married at the age of 30, so they don't need to have children in the future? ”
"I didn't mean that, but if you don't want to give birth, you have to have a reason. Even if we don't have to explain it to me, at least we should explain it to my parents, right? ”
"Your parents have preconceptions about me, and I don't think they will listen to me."
"Then tell me, why don't you want children?"
"Husband, the two of us are still young, and now is the rising period of our careers, I don't want to be tied up by children so early, don't you understand?"
"Career upswing? Your job in an investment company is an income of 70,000 or 80,000 yuan a year, if you stop for two years, how big can the loss be? And my parents helped pay off the mortgage, which was hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they took the initiative to propose it this time, can't you seriously think about it? ”
"It turned out that it was for money to force me to have a child, husband, can't you think about my feelings?"
Zhang Ailing seemed to be a little angry, and turned over directly and turned her back to me.
I can't figure out why every time the topic of having a child is talked about, Zhang Ailing's reaction is extremely excited, as if giving birth to a child is like a very difficult and even painful thing for her.
Don't all women like children? But why does my wife Zhang Ailing not like it? I'm really confused, and I can't figure out what my wife is thinking.
But in the end, I still chose to accept my wife Zhang Ailing's proposal, so I went to my parents to discuss the issue of having children.
Although my explanation made my parents sigh and be helpless, because I directly said that it was my own problem, and it was not my wife Zhang Ailing's business at all.
When my mother heard this, she said eagerly: "If it's your problem, then you have to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible. ”
I hurriedly comforted her and said: "We have gone to the hospital for examination, the problem is not very big, but the doctor still suggested that I should recuperate for a period of time, and I am already actively cooperating with the treatment, and it is estimated that Zhang Ailing will be able to get pregnant normally after a year." ”
My dad said to me, "You're not in bad health, how can you have a problem with this?" Did the hospital make a mistake? ”
"How so? Dad, the doctors said it was a minor problem, and now many men in Shencheng have this problem, and you also know that although the income here is good, the work intensity is very high, and the pressure is naturally not small. Anyway, I'm already taking medicine to recuperate, so don't rush anymore, otherwise it will affect my psychology in the future. "I deliberately said it so seriously that my parents were no longer embarrassed to continue persecution.
After a few days, my parents were ready to return to their hometown, and urging us to have children was put to an end for the time being.
